Writing is a political instrument.

The impossible is the least that one can demand.

A writer has to take all the risks of putting down what he sees.

You have to go the way your blood beats. If you don't live the only life you have, you won't live some other life, you won't live any life at all.

The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

The future is like heaven-everyone exalts it but no one wants to go there now.

A society must assume that it is stable, but the artist must know, and he must let us know, that there is nothing stable under heaven.
